When I do a comparison of two projects in Eclipse, I basically get a list of every single file in the project. This is usually because the two are either A.) from a different repo or B.) checked out a different times.
Is there a way to setup the Compare Editor to ignore lines containing “$Id:”? I would even be open to an alternative Comparison Editor module if it were stable.
Thanks in advance for any help!
It doesn’t look like there’s a way to do that in eclipse. There is an unfixed bug in Eclipse about this.
There are external comparators which have the ability to ignore differences based on regex: meld, kdiff, compare it!, beyond compare
